When I was a youngster, my favorite modern player was Jim Sundberg. Sunny was a defensive prodigy, a six time gold glove winner, but because of his hitting, he doesn't seem to get a whole lot of props. He was always a good community citizen as well, and I respected that as well. I don't have a huge Sundberg collection, but I pick up things every now and then. Always looking for Sundberg game used Rangers stuff as well. There's a neat game used 76 bat that has been on Ebay forever, but i'm not paying that kind of coin for that.
Here's one of my cooler pieces, as it was a gift from board member thekid8, back in 2009.
Here's a pic of me, Maven and Sunny from the 2012 season, we've both aged some since the 70's
Here's my signed cards of Sunny

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Thanks for posting and keep them coming .----- Sonny

Great collection!! Congrats on your most recent pickup.

Yes, we both have pics with McConaughey as well, but they used their camera for that one and will be mailing those to us. Fun night. Was a joy to be back out at the park doing what we love to do together. For those of you that are fairly new to the board, Maven is a great kid and is my running buddy, we do everything together and used to regularly post stuff here, but I started law school last August and that has severely cut into my free time (also work full time) so now I especially cherish when we get to do stuff like this.

And to agree with you, yes you have lost your mind - you're a Rangers fan after all.

<< <i>I will assume you've seen this photo or even own it signed but thought of you when I saw it. 1984 ASG.
Actually, I haven't but thats neat. A good collection of talent right there. That's one year before Sunny finally won a World Series with Kansas City.
Too bad the Rangers could never get it done.
